Pessimistic Quotes - Page 7

• I'm not pessimistic, because poor people tend to bounce back. We've been through worse than this - working people been through worse than this. We've got slavery and Jim Crow. We've got workers with no rights up until `35. We're going to bounce back. We are resilient, resisting people. So, it's not pessimism, but it is blues-like. It's not optimistic. We're just prisoners of hope, that's all.

• I am in general a very pessimistic person with an optimistic, day to day take on things. The bare facts of life are utterly terrifying. And yet, one can laugh. Indeed, one has to laugh precisely because of the darkness: the nervous laughter of the trenches.

• Then come to realize that you're making mountains out of molehills. Realize how petty you've become. Sure, it may feel like you can't get a grip on this town. It may seem that every time someone offers you a hand up, they just let go and you slip further down. But you must stop being so pessimistic, Hannah, and learn to trust those around you. So I do. One more time.

• I write about adversity, I praise adversity, not to be pessimistic, but rather to strengthen myself. The more familiar that you are with it, the less likely you are to have a breakdown when it occurs. You become more reflective of its purpose, you understand God's reason for it, and are then able to make the best of everything that you are handed. The darkness is only frightening after constant sunshine.

• El pesimismo es una salida muy fácil porque es una visión corta de la vida. Si miras lo que ocurre hoy a nuestro alrededor, no puedes evitar sentir que la vida es una terrible complejidad de problemas. Pero si miras unos miles de años atrás, te das cuenta de que hemos avanzado fantásticamente. Si se tiene una visión a largo plazo, no veo cómo se puede ser pesimista sobre el futuro de la humanidad.

• It must be a very dour and pessimistic astronomer indeed who seriously doubts that there must be countless numbers of intelligent civilizations scattered throughout the universe on other planets which are orbiting around other stars. An attitude which asserts that man is the only intelligent life form in the universe is intolerably arrogant today ... anyone who holds such an opinion today is, fortunately for those who like to see some progress in human conceptions, something of an intellectual freak equivalent to a believer in the Flat Earth Theory.

• He vivido lo suficiente para saber que, sea cual sea nuestra situación, nuestros problemas se derriten y desaparecen como la escarcha bajo el sol de la mañana cuando nos detenemos en nuestras bendiciones y no en nuestras decepciones. Por muy pesimista que sea la visión que uno tenga de los tiempos y las estaciones, siempre podemos recurrir a una amistad especial, a un amor fiel y personal, y a un trato sencillo y verdadero en nuestra vida personal.

• Todos tenemos días negativos, pero eso no significa que seamos pesimistas. Todos hacemos tonterías, pero eso no significa que seamos estúpidos. Es importante saber distinguir entre lo que nos ocurre y lo que somos, y mirar hacia delante con esperanza de que vengan días nuevos y mejores.

• El karma no es algo pesimista. Si piensas en el karma como algo malo, estás viendo el karma sólo según lo que ocurrió en el pasado. Si miras al pasado, el karma se convierte en un monstruo. Así que también deberías ver el karma en el presente y en el futuro. Entonces el karma se convierte en algo muy amplio y realmente vivo. A través del karma puedes comprender cuál es tu destino. El destino en sí no tiene forma sólida; es algo que puedes crear. Puedes crear tu vida. Por eso estudiamos el karma.

• Nowadays, to say that we are clever animals is not to say something philosophical and pessimistic but something political and hopeful - namely, if we can work together, we can make ourselves into whatever we are clever and courageous enough to imagine ourselves becoming. This is to set aside Kant's question "What is man?" and to substitute the question "What sort of world can we prepare for our great grandchildren?

• Developing a cheerful disposition can permit an atmosphere wherein one's spirit can be nurtured and encouraged to blossom and bear fruit.

• Como el arte, el amor y la pornografía, el cine negro es difícil de definir, pero se reconoce cuando se ve. A los efectos de este libro y de la definición que yo tengo de él desde hace mucho tiempo, las historias de cine negro son relatos sombríos, existenciales, alienados y pesimistas sobre perdedores, personas tan cuestionadas moralmente que no pueden evitar provocar su propia ruina.
